The Cincinnati Bengals have officially donned pads at training camp as prep begins in earnest for the team’s first preseason game ahead of the regular season opener.
That first preseason game is Friday, August 11, when the Bengals host the Green Bay Packers at 7 p.m. ET, with NFL Network on the coverage.
Ahead of that, camp has featured some key positional battles, notable injuries (headlined by Joe Burrow, of course) and some must-see highlights.
As such, there have been droves of can’t-miss photographs snapped in the process too, so here’s a look at some of the best of training camp so far.
